TURKISH FM CONDEMNED CANCELLATION OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE CONFERENCE
23.09.2005 07:56
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul condemned on Friday
the decision by a Turkish court canceling a conference on the Armenian
Genocide. As reported by Yerkir Online, Gul voiced his concern that the
court's decision would likely weaken Turkey's position on the eve of the
Turkey-EU talks on Turkey's accession to the Union. The conference entitled
" Ottoman Armenians During the Decline of the Empire: Issues of Scientific
Responsibility and Democracy' was scheduled to open today at the Bosphorus
University in Istanbul. The organizers of the conference have called a
meeting to coordinate their further actions, with an aim to hold the
conference at a different university. The Turkish press, in turn, has raised
their voice condemning the court's ruling, calling it a serious blow to the
country's image. The decision, however, was welcomed by the members of the
Turkish Retired Officers' Union, the chairman of the History Society and the
Union of Lawyers, which have already rendered conferences.
